2005 R53 short circuit - Maybe you can help me solve it

Well. Today after starting the day by a session at the gym hoping it to be even better since its the first sunny day in Iceland the whole winter I get to my car, turn the key, it starts then turns off.
I try again and nothing happens. Not even the gauges go on.
I get it jump started and drive 20 km. Come to a stop, turn it off and it is completely dead again.
Do my thing, jump start it and go to a battery shop. The car charges, but the battery was just completely empty.
We measured the drain with the car locked, all lights off and it showed me 430 mA. (we didnt waid, just let the light in the boot go off) and that was with a brand new battery

I have heard that the pump can sometimes not go off, but I heard nothing.


Any suggestions?
